Battlestar Galactica: The Plan's executive producer and writer Jane Espenson added, "Edward James Olmos was our director on the movie, and he did an amazing job. He also shot some great footage that we are not able to show on TV, so I'm thrilled that viewers can experience it uncut as our director envisioned it."

SYNOPSIS
Battlestar Galactica: The Plan: The Cylons began as humanity's robot servants. They rebelled, and evolved, and now they look like us. Their plan is simple: destroy the race that enslaved them. But when their devastating attack leaves human survivors, the Cylons have to improvise. Battlestar Galactica: The Plan tells the story of two powerful Cylon leaders, working separately, and their determination to finish the task.
An inspired, visually stunning reimagining of the 1978 series of the same name, Battlestar Galactica captured the imaginations of a new generation of fans with its gritty realism, compelling storylines and commanding performances. The show garnered numerous awards, including two Emmys and the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award and was recognized by the American Film Institute (AFI) as one of the most outstanding television programs of the year for two years running. In March 2009, Battlestar Galactica's impassioned explorations of today's hot-button issues, including politics, terrorism, treatment of prisoners and religion, even inspired the United Nations to host a special panel to discuss the questions it has raised. The series is from Universal Cable Productions and is executive produced by Ronald D. Moore and David Eick.

Is Lucy Lawless definitely not in this thing? How the hell are they going to explain that?
Day 1 purchase, and yet...
Still no FACE OF THE ENEMY. Boo.
This is reason number 1 that you don't hire actors who are popular like Lawless. She was fun, but they could easily have found a woman who was just as attractive and a better actress. Didn't Mr. Eick mess up by casting the black guy from Alias, too?
Anyway, I really fracking hope the extended version that Olmos said was 2 hours and 6 minutes is on there. Otherwise, I'm not buying it.
The Face of the Enemy webisodes are permanently posted on SyFy.com and Hulu.com, so you can always see them on there...
I can't wait for this to come out. I was just left craving so much more BSG after season 4.5. I knew it couldn't be the end yet!
Whaz huh? Box art that isn't embarassing? Hurray!

Thanks
Agreed with the box art thing. Razor was awful.
Riddle me this:
Universal/Sci Fi/Sy Fy wait almost a year between seasons. Release the "The Plan" and "Caprica" as DVD sales long after the show finale and far too long before broadcast. Release the DVD sets after Christmas. Release "Razor" solo then repackage it with Season 4. So you know, you wind up with 2 copies.
Why didn't they build on the heat of the finale by releasing Caprica on TV sooner rather then DVD? Why wait months after the finale to release The Plan, much less on DVD, when television broadcast would help build a bigger base for Caprica?
I understand the want for awards but they're losing the audience with money grubbing and long broadcast waits. That's something I am not a fan of.
I am OK with people wanting to buy the product whether it's broadcast or not. I find it insulting to fans (a relatively small audience and money base) to dangle the product months ahead of time only to broadcast later (when there is far less buzz) Direct to DVD movies is one thing. This is indirect to TV and a giant waste of fan money and broadcast potential.
I find it all backward and really, really bad marketing. Isn't this insulting to the fans as well? It drives me from the franchise(s), not toward it.
